Deyan Sudjic.
The Language of Cities.
Penguin. 2016
Most of us now live in cities. But what makes a city?
Is it a place or an idea? How should we define the city as it evolves today?
Deyan Sudjic, Director of the Design Museum,
decodes the underlying forces that shape the urban spaces around us,
from their buildings to their names,
from the power of crowds to why being a Londoner, New Yorker or Muscovite
can offer a sense of identity greater than any other.
